Sunshine Coast Partial Dentures
If you still have natural teeth but have a few spaces you’d like to fix or fill, a removable partial denture is a great way to fill spaces where your teeth once were, utilising your remaining teeth to support and retain the denture in when in use.
A well-designed, well-fitting partial denture should stabilise and improve function, improve aesthetics, improve phonetics, support the lips and face and reduce the risk of your natural teeth from drifting and over-erupting too!
In most cases, we can design partial dentures to predict some amount of future tooth loss if required, which means if you happen to lose a natural tooth along the way, you won’t have to replace your entire denture!
Come in and have a chat to us! The Denture Kitchen will be able to guide which option will suit be suitable for your circumstance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a partial denture?
A partial denture is a removable appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. It fits around existing teeth and is held in place with clasps or rests. Partial dentures help restore function and may assist with speaking and chewing. They are typically made from acrylic or metal and are shaped based on impressions of your mouth.
Can a partial denture prevent other teeth from moving?
Yes, partial dentures may help reduce the risk of nearby teeth shifting or over-erupting into empty spaces. By filling those gaps, the denture can provide some level of stability in the mouth. We assess your dental structure during the consultation to plan a denture that supports both function and alignment based on your current tooth positioning.
What if I lose another tooth later on?
In many cases, partial dentures can be designed with future changes in mind. If additional teeth are lost, it may be possible to add to the existing denture instead of replacing it entirely. This depends on the original design and how much change has occurred. We’ll discuss these options as part of your treatment planning.
How do I care for a partial denture?
Partial dentures should be removed daily for cleaning. Use a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner to clean the denture and rinse it after meals. Avoid using hot water, which can distort the shape. It’s also recommended to clean your natural teeth and gums carefully to maintain oral health. We’ll go over care instructions during your fitting.
